“My class has loved every moment of these lego bricks. From the moment they arrived, helping to put them together to create the wonderful set ups and trucks etc. To the monent were they get to create their own farm. The children are always asking to use these Lego bricks during class time and also during wet play times. They are such a big hit. The children have learnt more about the farm animals, the farm workers, the farm vehicles and they have learnt about taking care of our environment. So many learning opportunities have come from this wonderful set. Thank you!”

“The Bricks Farm was a great resource for my class. I was able to integrate it into Writing, Maths and Inquiry as well as Discovery time. The children enjoyed being creative and using their grit to make up sets. It is a resource that has become very popular in the classroom and I look forward to finding other ways to use it this term. Thank you so much.”
